I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.

If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.

I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.

And entered the park.

I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.

“All of these students are great from an academic point of view. They have always scored 90%+ during their school days, some have even scored 9.6 CGPA and above during their 10th boards.”

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”

I did not go back to my home.

All achievers in their own way.
